Jack of all trades here, and in the last 30 years worked in hotels, restaurants and I had my own farm for 5 years, till my Hudson Valley neighbor purchased it 2 years ago.

So with end of Covid I am planning to travel more again, and off to experience and willing to share into your life and culture.

Every few months I return to Hudson Valley to a friends house, and help with her small homestead, besides maintaining my rental property in Brooklyn - www.228washington.com

When I travel I like to look for opportunities to learn and gain more experience in practical fields. Sharing solutions for better life, take ideas and solutions with me and leave some behind.

Dominik is much more than a volunteer for me. He came to our land 7 years ago first , and we are friends since that time. He is really helpful and responsible. He helped us a lot in the farm in many ways.
I definitely recommend this lovely and talented volunteer to all hosts
Hope to see you soon Dominik..

Dominik was quick to settle in. He has a good amount maintenance experience and knowledge. He took to cleaning the gutters of 3 treehouses. He worked well with another guests as they teamed up for work and off work time. He organized areas and made them look better. I'm grateful to have had him stay with us.

Dominic is a person who values the global environment.
By spending time with him, I was able to think comprehensively about how to use plastic products.
I will review all parties and the use of plastic products.
And Dominic loves organizing.
He hurt his back and I corrected his job.
However, even after he exceeded the scheduled five hours, he… read more

Dominik has surprising knowledge and skills in the hospitality and agriculture areas. He helped much in both fields without asking him. I hope he returns since we are building a hostel on a farm and encourage DIY lifestyle there for people who want to step away from the Matrix.

Mots let me stay on very short notice, when I was coming from another workaway on Shikoku Island and via Imbari easy to reach him, and also easy to travel North via Fukuyama.
I spent a few days helping Mots on his new farm land, and organized his off-grid guest house and museum.
More work there and with his knowledge about solar, Japanese life… read more

Dominik is an interesting, allround and easy going guy. He worked hard picking tons of apples in the rain for days, and he pressed hundreds of liters of apple juice with a very good mood. Very self sufficient, fun , responsible and interested in learning new stuff, especially about farming. I can recommend everyone having Dominik over to hang out… read more
